Abstract
The dental office for children has always been scary and eerie. The reason for this fear is the lack of mental fitness of children towards the dental health environment. Unknown instruments, scary sounds of dental devices, and sometimes seeing others’ fears during dental procedures would affect the child’s mind; and creates fear within them. No research has pointed to the definitive causes of anxiety and stress, but some studies have shown that the bad experience of dental treatments associated with pain is one of the most common in this case.
